1.
Adding a user readable, writable and mountable FAT (Windows) partition
to /etc/fstab: login as root and create an appropriate mount point directory in,
for example, /mnt. I called this directory “windows”, since I was mounting my
Windows partition.
2.
Edit your /etc/fstab file using for example vi or pico
or some other text editor.
3.
Add the following line to your /etc/fstab:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda4 /mnt/windows vfat defaults,rw,user,uid=0,gid=6,umask=002 0 0
4.
As you can see, my Windows partition is partition number 4 on the first
harddrive. You will obviously have to change this to yours.
5.
See the manual pages for fstab and mount for more
information.
6.
Quick example of mounting a partition with user and group quota:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda3 /mnt/data ext3 defaults,grpquota,usrquota 0 0
